-
According to the Mayo Clinic, hybrid contact lenses are a cross between soft lenses and rigid gas-permeable lenses.
Significance
Although rigid gas-permeable lenses provide better visual acuity, some find them uncomfortable. Those who do will likely opt for the more comfortable soft contact lenses.
Identification
A hybrid contact lens has the outer ring of a soft contact lens, and a center of rigid gas-permeable material.
Benefits
Hybrid lenses are good for those with conditions such as astigmatism, age-related farsightedness and keratoconus, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Effects
Many choose hybrid lenses because they provide the comfort of soft lenses and the sharp visual correction of rigid lenses.
Prevention/Solution
Care for a hybrid lens is the same as that for a soft lens--nightly cleaning in saline solution.
